Re: What do you chose to believe Franklin's Tower is about? - Mr. Charlie told me so |
"puerile and poetically totally unsatisfying" Absolutely agree, especially in this case, where Hunter (for once) has given us a very specific explanation of his words and the thought process behind them.
I've heard that in iron-making, like creating a bell, the hot metal, while cooling, beads up with a sweat, and the maker "rolls" this off the metal. Just another possible source for the expression, and we know Hunter collects little tidbits like this....
Now if we want to talk drug references, the most blatant GD example is of course, Mr. Charlie. Definitely a straight-up heroin song. Or Sweet Jane, who lost her sparkle...

Definitely. Drug references aplenty... like TOO:
Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began
There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land
edit: BTW, the answer to your original question:
Picky people choose Jif.
